LI TER AR Y REVIEW. BR(o1rN. A Jett sresprit has - at length been launched from the joess, which, after all the imposing quartos and octavos that the zeal and activity of recent TouriSts have produced, affords an attractive no velty to the public. We allude to the comic duo decimo already in general circulation, Tire FUDGE FAMILY IN PARIS. h cannot be denied but that, both in his French and English sketches, the au thor has indulged somewhat freely in the broad style ut farce and caricature ; but the subject in vice(' ridicule, and the satire is seldom too caustic for pleasatury. The author is airy, sportive, ver satile; and when politics are not obtruded, will be equally relished by those who have actually wittiessed the scenes described,-and by those who 'mow them only from oral tradition or pantomi mic representation. This little work is composed of metrical epis tles, and the travellers and their vat ions pursuits are thus happily sketched by MISS BIDDY FUDGE, the youngrst,and unquestionably the most attrac five, of the party: — Our party consists, in a neat Calais job, Of Papa and myself, Mr. CONNOR and 808. You remember -how sheepish Bon look'd at Kilrandy, But, Lord ! he's quite alter'd—they've made him a Dandy; A thing, you know, whisker . d, great-coated, and lac'd, Like an hour-glass, exceedingly small in the waist : Quite a new sort of creatures, unknown yet to scholars, With heads so itrimoveably stuck in shirt-collars, • That seats like our music stools soon must be found them, To twirl, when the creatures may wish to look round them In short, dear, " a Dandy" describes what I mean, And lion's tar the best of the genus I've seen : An improving young man, fond of learning, ambitious, And goes now to Paris to study French dishes, Whose names—think, how quick !—he already knows pat, ti la braise, petits and—what d'ye call Olt They inflict on potatoes ! maitre d'lldtel I assure you, dear DonLY, he knows them as well As if nothing but these all his life he had eat, Though a bit of them Bonny has never toueh'd yet ; But just knows the names of French dishes and cooks, As dear Pa knows the titles of authors and books. On - the young Lady's arrival hi Paris she sullies her pen : What a time since 1 wrote !—l'm a sad, naughty girl— Though, like a tee-whim, I m all in a twirl, • Yet ev'n (as you wittily.say) a tee-totoin Between all its twirls gives a letter to note 'em. But, Lord,. such a place! anal then, DOLLY, my dresses, My gowns, so divine !—there's no language expresses, Except just the two words " superbe," " nognifique," The tiimmings of that which I had home last week ! It is called- , -1 forget—a /a—something which sounded Like alicumpaile-,-but, in truth, Fin confounded And bother d, my dear, 'twixt that troublesome boy's (Bon's) cookery language, and Madame LE Rot's: 'What With fillets of roses, and fillets of veal, 'Thin ' gs g - aini, 11 it lace, and thin g s garni with eel, Ont.s hair and one's cutlets both en papillote, And a thousand more things -I shall ne'er have by rote, I can scarce tell the ihtrirtice, at least as to phrase, Between beef ala !'s[ /[ be and curls ala - ilat, in short, dear, I'm trick'd out quite it la Franlaise, With my bonnet—so heantifull—high tip and puking, Like things that are put to keep cliiwnies from sutoliing-. Where shall I begin with the endless delights Of this !'idea of milliners, monkies, and sights— This dear busy place, where there's nothing transacting But dressing and dinnering, dancing and acting ? Imprimis, the Opera —mercy, my ears! Brother Lion ill's remark, Cottler night, was a true one " This mast be the music," said he, " of the spears, Fur cnrst if each note of it doesn't run through one! Pa sa s s (and you know, love, his Book's to make out "rwas the Jacobins brought every mischief about) That this pa,sion for roaring has come in of late, Since time rabble all tried for a suite its the State. 'What a frightful idea, one's mind 'to o'et wheltu! What a chorus, dear DoLLy, would soon be let loose of i If, when of age, every man in the realm Had a voice like old ',Aim, and chose to make use of it ! No—never was known i❑ this riotous sphere Such a breach of th e peace as their singing, my dear. So bad too, you'd swear that the God of both arts, Of Music and Physic, had taken a frolic For setting a 1010 tit of asthma in parts, And composing a fine rumbling bass to the cholic! • But, the dancing—al:parlez nun, DOLLY, de There, imlectl, is a treat that charms all but Papa. Such beauty—suck grace—oh ye sylphs of romance I Fly, fly to TITANIA, and ask it she has One light footed nymph in her train, that can dance Like divine Iltntrurist and sweet FANNY litAs ! FANNY BIAS in FhottA-dear creature, you'd swear, When her delicate feet in the dance twinkle round, That her steps are of light, that her home is the air, And she only par complaisance touches the ground. And when I.ItooTTINI in PSYCHE dishevels Her black flowing hair, and by dwainns is driven, Oh ! who (foes nut envy those rude little devils, That-hold her and hug her, and keep her from heaven ? Then, the music—so softly its cadences die, So divinely—oh, DOLLY ! between you and I, It's as well for my peace that there's nobody nigh To make love to me then—you're a soul, and can judge What a crisis 'twoUld be for your friend BIDDY FuDon. The next place (which BOBBY has near lost his heart in) They call it the Play-house—l think—vf St. Martin ; Quite charming —and very religious—what fully To say that the French are not pious, dear DOLLY, When be►e one beholds, so correctly and rightly, The Testawent turn'd into inelo-drames nightly; And, doubtless, so fond they're of scriptural facts, They will soon get. the Pentateuch up i❑ five acts. Here DANIEL, ►n pantomime, bids bold defiance To NEBUCItADNEZZAR and all his stuff'd lions, While pretty young Israelites dance round the Prophet, In very thin-clothing, and but little of it; — Here LI:GRAND, who shines i❑ this scriptural path, As the lovely Sus.tNrA, without ev'n a relic Of drapery round her, comes out of the bath In a manner that, Bon says, is quite Eve-angelic. But in short, dear, 't would take we a month to recite All the exquisite places we're at, day and night; And, besides, ere I finish, I think you'll be glad Just to hear one delightful adventure I've had. Last night, at the Beaujon, a place where—l doubt If I well can describe—there are cars, that sat out From a lighted pavilion, high up in the air, And rattle you down, DOLL,—you hardly know where. These vehicles, mind me, in which you go through This delightfully dangerous joorney, hold too. Some cavalier asks, with humility, whether You'll venture down with him—you smile—lis a match; In an instant you're seated, and down both together Go timmering, as if you went post to Old Scratch! Well, it was but last night, as I stood and remark'd On the looks and odd ways of the girls Who cmbark'd, The impatience of some for the perilous Hight, The forc'd giggle of others, 'twixt pleasure and fright, That there came up—imagine, dear MIA., if you can— A tine sallow, sublime, surt of Werter-fac'd man, With mustachios that gave (what we read of so oft) Th, dear Corsair expression, half savage, half soft, As Hyamas in love maybe fancied to look, or • A something between AulmAtin and old BLUCHER! Up he came, Dow., to me, and, uncovering his head, (Rather bald, but so warlike !) in bad Emglish said, TIT F"DGE FAMILY IN PARIS.

LosumAN, lluasc, REEs, OumE, and " rah !my dear—if Nfa'mselle vil he so very good— Just for von littel course"—though I scarce understood . What he wish'd me to do, I said, thank him, I would. Oft we set—and, though 'faith, dear, I hardly knew whether My head or my heels were the Uppermost then, For 'twos like heav'n and earth, DOLIY, coming together,-- Yet, spite of the danger, we dar'd it again. And oh! as I gaz'd on the features and air Of the man, who for me all this peril defied,, I could fancy almost he and I were a pair Of unhappy young lovers, who thris,•tide - by'side, 'n • - Were taking, instead of rope, pistol, or dagger, a Desperate dash down the Falls of Niagara ! This achiev'd, through the gardens we saunter'd about, Saw the tire-works, exclai "magnifique!" at each cracker, And, when 't was all o'er, the dear man saw us out \Sidi the air, I will say, of a Prince, to oue jfacre. Now, hear me—this Stranger-it may be mere folly— But who do you think we all think it is, Do• LY ? Why, bless you, no less than the great King of PlitissiA, IVho's here now incog.—he who made such a fuss, you Remember, in London, with BLUCHER and PLATOFF, When SAL was near hissing old BLUCHER'S cravat off! This romantic idea takes possession of - the young traveller's fancy, and leads to many humo rous misconceptions. She at length discovers , that her inamorato is, not royal, but persists in attri buting to him the qualities of a hero. On the tvliole, THE FUDGE FAMILY IN PARIS is unquestionably the Most IMF - norm's trifle that has been imported from the Continent, and may perhaps to some supersede the necessity of going abroad in quest of amusement.

" To-day or to-morrow the Duke of Kent is expected here." 'We received /ha day a Letter from an tigrish Gentleman at Rouen, which states a matter that demands the attention of our Government in no slight „ degree, as it affects our mercantile inte rests. We are informed, that the Office of ENG LISH CONSUL at that Port, instead of being occu pied by a native of our Country, is 'held by a Frenchman, named DECAEN. It is not, therefore, to be expected . that this man should be as atten tive to our interests as if they were entrusted to one of our own Countrymen. It seems, that when the Commanders of our Merchantmen have cont- pleted their cargoes in that port, anti are anxious to return home, innumerable obstacles are thrown • in their way, that they remain for weeks in most vexatious suspense, and encounter great difficulty before they are at length suffered to depart. •It is very improbable that such obstructions should prevail if the Post in question were held by an Englishman, vigilant in the performance of his duty. It seems that DECAEN derives from his Office between 4 and 5001. a year, which surely ought to be assigned to one of our own Country men. The same complaint is made by our • Cor respondent respecting DIEPPE, where another Frenchman, named M. Le BARoN, acts as the Agent of the aforesaid DECAEN, and he also de rives a very good income, for performing his duties in much the same way, if not still more negli gently. This M. LE BARON is said to be a decided enemy to this country, and, therefore, it cannot be surprizing that he should be indifferent, if not hostile, to our commercial interests. We trust than this matter,will excite the attention of our Government, for if what we have now stated be founded in fact, it is not only impolicy, but abso lute folly, to suffer our Mercantile Interests to . be entrusted to such hands. t it 'tht, that +4,,, t Vi t a 4tl t , i Ptki,
